Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Phyllostachys edulis. Chinese name: Mao chu (hairy bamboo). Originally grown by Panda Products Nursery from seed from China obtained by Mr. Cheung. From the 1998 American Bamboo Society newsletter, by Gib Cooper of Panda Products Nursery: "Over the years of our involvement with bamboo (since 1972), we have only worked with a handful of flowering species. Our main contribution was the introduction to the USA of Phyllostachys heterocycla pubescens (Moso) through Panda Products Nursery back in 1982-1984. Our efforts then were responsible for raising about 4,000 seedlings. These seedlings were distributed worldwide through private and non-profit channels." According to Mr. Cooper, different clones of this species tend to flower on a 40- to 70-year cycle.
